Hi all! I had my first fill last week. I have noticed a difference but really didn't day of. I was on liquids for 24 hours and then on mushy foods for 24 hours and then I was able to eat normally. I really didn't know what to expect after my first fill and its not what I thought. The first day back on real foods I was still eating softer foods and ate over a cup. I was able to do so but it made me extremely uncomfortable (heartburn and gassy). Since then I have been making sure to eat no more than 1 cup of food per sitting. I have had an issue of feeling stuck when ] I made tuna and tried to eat it on toasted bread (I had read somewhere that is the bread was toasted you would be able to eat it) and it was very clear after one bite that was not the case. I can take a small bite of bread but that's about it. Other than that I have been able to eat everything I have tried so far, I have just been trying to make good decisions about what that is. I could eat more than that cup but I realize that if I stop there and don't eat anymore I am full for prob 4 to 5 hours or so.

So my question is does this sound right? I know everyone is different but even though the band is not exactly what I expected I am excited that it is helping me keep my portions way down so far. What is the difference between this and the green zone? Sorry for all the questions, being new to this I just don't know what I should expect and when I think I do I get it wrong (like how I thought I was going to be after first fill)

Thanks so much for feedback

It depends and bread is usually not good any way you eat it. It expands once inside so it will usually always get stuck. You might be better off with crackers instead of bread. Sounds pretty much normal but I would stay away from bread. I have learned to eat tuna with nothing. If I really need something then I will have crackers or pretzel crisp.
